About this movie

An American city is surprised by the surreal sight of foreign paratroopers dropping from the sky. The U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Citizens are held as prisoners while their town is under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots hide in the woods, reorganizing themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. Taking inspiration from their high school mascot, they call themselves the Wolverines, banding together to take back their freedom.

Ratings and reviews

I as born on Guam but I have lived in Spokane for the last 16 years. I'm 19. I really liked this movie, one because of the action, two because it was based in this city. The ONLY problem I had with it, and I speak for all people here, is that this movie was not filmed where it's based. Instead of Spokane, the movie-makers thought it would be a good idea to film the whole movie in Detroit. That was kind-of disappointing since Spokane gets exactly ZERO attention from the outside world. Seattle gets more attention then Spokane does. It kind-of sucks. Anyway, if you pay too much attention to city landmarks, I wouldn't recommend this. If you like a good action movie, you might like this remake of the 1980s film.

Almost every scene in the movie has Josh Peck with his mouth open and a stupid look on his face. I guess the Disney Channel didn't teach him to close it!!! They could have redone this movie a little bit better. A helicopter can be heard for miles away, but for some reason this small mountain town can hide noises of loud engines. Also why does the North Korean Army have American Hummers?

The idealism of charging monetary for crappy movies is unrealistic in information age. U can't trick people into buying/watching crappier remakes from stupid Hollywood executives anymore! This movie suxed! someone should kill the casting agents that thought it was good for putting Thor as US Military op as the lead!
